APEX Elite Bar 6ft - Black

A main staple when it comes to weight training, an Olympic Bar is an essential piece of fitness equipment for any weightlifting environment, whether home, commercial or corporate gym space. But what about those just starting out on their fitness journey?

No ordinary Olympic barbell, the 6ft APEX Elite Olympic Bar is shorter in length than a standard Olympic barbell and is also lighter in weight, at just 15kg. A multifaceted piece of premium gym equipment, it provides an exceptional alternative to the standard, heavier barbell, that not only targets the more novice athlete, but also allows the more advanced lifter to focus on refining technique or managing an injury.

Measuring 28.5mm in thickness, this supreme barbell is halfway between a 28mm thick Standard Elite Bar and 29mm thick Power Bar, and is slightly stiffer than specifically designed Olympic weightlifting bars. This means the APEX Elite Olympic Barbell has greater functionality, as it can also be used as a powerlifting bar for practising deadlifts, squats and more.

Expertly constructed from commercial-grade steel, with a manganese phosphate coating, the APEX Elite Olympic Barbell (6ft) is built to withstand the most intense strength training workouts and is resistant to corrosion. The aggressive knurling with dual IPF/IWF markings ensures a secure grip, while the impressive matt black finish on both weight plate sleeves looks sleek and will fit seamlessly in any fitness centre. Ergonomically designed, the bushed chrome sleeves are self-lubricating, perfect for loading with any Olympic bumper plates.
